Litigation PR

It is a media driven world. We are swamped with not only hundreds of TV channels and print publications but also digital and social media platforms which do 24-hour reporting. So when news of a legal dispute breaks on media it goes a long way, often accompanied by speculation, rumours, and half-truths. That is why law suits very often sully image of the involved individuals and companies.

Similarly, when law enforcement and investigating agencies raid a company or individual, rumour mills start spinning and a media trial begins which damages the reputation within no time.

Area of Expertise

Corporates and their executives often get caught in allegations of financial frauds, money laundering, and other irregularities. Even before such cases are decided in the court of law, people start believing that the involved companies or individual officials have done something wrong. Thus, in the court of public opinion the alleged persons and the company are declared guilty, causing substantial damage to reputation. 

Compage Consulting has extensive experience in handling reputation of individuals and businesses, including high-profile ones, facing white-collar crime charges. Our multidisciplinary team is well trained in working out a coherent and consistent communication strategy to manage the media, specially social media which is alive 24X7. 

We also have expertise in managing media in disputes involving cyber crimes, securities issues, intellectual property, etc.   

Just the threat of a government investigation or enforcement action can trigger negative headlines.
